I would appreciate any input and advice on what to include (and exclude) on my diseases & conditions notecards, and also suggestions for organizing them. I've tried a couple different formats; not sure which will facilitate better understanding and critical thinking! And is it wise to try to cross-reference them with drug notecards...? I appreciate the help!

Disease, clinical manifestations/signs or symptoms, etiology, treatment...maybe anything unique to this disease? Not sure what you mean by cross-referencing with drug cards though.

Another girl said she had pharmaceutical interventions listed on hers, and tried to explain to me her system of cross-referencing those cards with a separate set of pharmaceutical notecards that listed drug (trade & generic names), uses, side effects, recommended dosages, etc...when I tried doing this I ended up with a jumble of cards I wasn't sure how to file! :)
